History

TIU Florida is a regional center of Trinity International University, Deerfield, Illinois. The Florida Regional Center was established in 1993 following a close relationship with Miami Christian College. TIU Florida offers the undergraduate degree through the EXCEL Program for adult learners, as well as graduate degree programs of the university.
Established as a Bible Institute in 1949, Miami Christian College became a four-year Bible college in 1962, offering a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Education. From 1966 to 1991 the college was located on a sixteen-acre campus in Opa Locka, Florida. In 1991 the college moved to downtown Miami. Ten years later in July 2001, the Florida Regional Center moved to new administrative facilities in north Miami-Dade County, and by January 2007 it moved to its current facility in Broward County.

In 1989, Miami Christian College established an affiliation with Trinity Evangelical Divinity School of Deerfield, Illinois. In 1992, the respective governing boards decided to establish an affiliation between Miami Christian College and Trinity College of Arts and Sciences that resulted in a branch-campus relationship. From 1993 through 2002 the college provided traditional and nontraditional undergraduate programs. Currently, the Florida Regional Center offers a nontraditional adult undergraduate program, two Master's degree programs, and a certificate program.

The Florida Regional Center encompasses only a small part of the university's history. Trinity has a history dating as far back as the late the 19th Century.
